X-O Manowar: Unconquered #1 (1/250) Leather Variant. Finally tracked one down and it arrived today. The book looks flawless in person...just perfect. The scan for some reason picks up markings you can't see with you eye I'm assuming the leather texture causes this in the light.  NFS

lol the NFS part made me laugh out loud. The fact that you finally tracked one down, I’d be surprised if you’d put it up. 
Looks great though. Is the leather real or just printed?

Its not printed.  Not 100% sure if its real leather or pleather.  Ive held one that was not slabbed and it feels real.  Theres only 6 9.8s and i doubt there will be even a few more if any.  The books were easily damaged in manufacturing.

LOVE this one:

And finally this was the one I REALLY wanted.  I was hoping for a 9.8 candidate, but I don't think I got one.  I may scan it and post in the "please grade" section to see what the masses think.  This was the stock image (they all are) , as I don't have time to set the scanner up now.

Very cool!!!  Love the ASM 261 image!  I've been posting my pickups in the Copper area too.  Here's what I have as far as graded Hobby books so far.  I still need to upload a few images, and I've got a few on the way too:
